1) Make sure a router has access to Internet and it is offering DHCP service. In this

case, LevelOne WBR-3406 router is used and it is giving out IP addresses on

192.168.123.x subnet.

2) Connect all three WAB-3000s to an administrator PC for configuration. For

more detail, please refer to user manual.

3) Open up WAB-3000 web UI, go to System Configuration/Operating Mode

configuration page, and make sure “Wireless Access Point/Bridging Mode” is
